Dear colleagues,
<br>
<br>Im just writing to make you aware of anSTS/medical sociology PhD studentship
<br>I'm advertising at Edinburgh: Why (not) participate? An international
<br>comparative study of people with MNDs experiences of, and perspectives on,
<br>participating in research. Sarah Cunningham-Burley will be the second
<br>supervisor. The studentship includes: 3 years of UKRI-level stipend (currently
<br>14, 777), UK/EU fees, and 5, 000 p.a. of consumables/travel.
<br>
<br>This project forms part of a PhD studentship competition across the biomedical
<br>and social sciences, being run by the Euan MacDonald Centre for Motor Neurone
<br>Disease (EMC). Currently, there are seven projects advertised and one
<br>(possibly two) projects will be funded. The best student is chosen by the EMC
<br>on the basis of application, interview and references. The EMC are seeking to
<br>develop their social science portfolio, so a strong candidate with an MA/MSc
<br>(or similar) in a relevant social science discipline would be competitive. It
<br>is essential that prospective students contact me first to discuss their ideas
<br>for this PhD project.
<br>
<br>Any appointed student will be linked with the EMC, and based in our new
<br>Wellcome Trust-supported Centre for Biomedicine, Self and Society.
<br>Administratively situated within Edinburgh Medical School, the Centre brings
<br>together a range of scholars from across the University of Edinburgh working
<br>in the social sciences and medical humanities. By autumn 2019 the Centre will
<br>comprise 18 members of academic staff with several PhD students, and dedicated
<br>administrative and public engagement support. The Centre is currently based in
<br>Buccleuch Place, adjacent to the majority of social science departments within
<br>Edinburgh, and will ultimately be sited within the Edinburgh Futures Institute
<br>(currently being built).
<br>
<br>More detail about the studentship competition can be found here:

<br>My specific project is detailed here:

<br>
<br>The deadline for applications is 7th January 2019.
<br>
<br>Interviews will be held in Edinburgh most likely at the end of January.
<br>
<br>I would really appreciate it if you could please disseminate this message to
<br>anyone who you feel would be appropriate for, and interested in, this
<br>studentship. Thank you very much!
<br>
<br>All best wishes
<br>
